For our first ocean crossing, we were terrified of the unknown! Those who had done a crossing told us it would be easy and fun while those that hadn’t done a crossing told us it would be dangerous and difficult.
Once we finished our first ocean crossing, we realized that it really was fun and easy; which made shoving off for our second ocean crossing all the easier.
We knew how to provision, read the weather, what gear to have and what to leave behind. All we had to do was just shove off and go to sea!
The crossing was a bit lengthy, totaling around 27 days to make it from Cape Verde to Suriname, along the way we experienced all the weathers: too much wind, no wind, perfect wind, and everything in between.
The biggest problem we have encountered on the crossing was arriving in a country with very poor internet!
There will be many posts to come that take the typical in depth look at everything we learned and you should know before you go out to sea on your first bluewater passage!
Stay tuned!
